Formulas for the diagonal e
If the height is not known, the diagonal e can also be calculated using the angle β.
\(\displaystyle e =\sqrt{(a^2+b^2) - (2 · a · b · cos(β))} \)
Calculating the diagonal e using sides and height
Using side a and b
The diagonal e forms a right triangle with the height h and the side (a - y). The diagonal e that forms the hypotenuse here can be calculated according to the Pythagorean theorem.
First, the length of y has to be calculated, which in turn can be calculated from b and h :
\(\displaystyle y =\sqrt{b^2-h^2} \)
The diagonal e can now be calculated using the following formula:
\(\displaystyle e =\sqrt{(a-y)^2+h^2} \)
The formula above is also used by this online calculator.
Use of the side length c and d
Alternatively, you can calculate with the side lengths c and d . To do this, the leg of the left triangle is first calculated:
\(\displaystyle x =\sqrt{d^2-h^2} \)
In the following formula, x is added to the side length c .
\(\displaystyle e =\sqrt{(c+x)^2+h^2} \)
